InDesign – Working with Modular Baseline Grids

Learn how to setup and work with modular, asymmetric baseline grid systems for Adobe InDesign.

For the demonstration I’m using the Colours Grid System Series – versatile A4, US letter, A5 and 6 × 9 InDesign layouts / templates.

Following the tutorial I introduce the layouts themselves and how, in addition to being a tool for learning, can also form the foundation of your real-life typography project – suitable for brochures, reports, case studies and more.

Whether you’re a designer or in marketing, business or any other field, I hope you find this resource useful.
